The other important step is to make the sector seem more accessible for girls at a young age, says Narvas, who found herself the only girl in her school doing GCSE computing.

“I felt so out of place that I never answered questions in class,” she said. “After that I was going to do a computing or IT A-Level but I didn’t want to if I was going to be the only girl. I remember that was a conscious decision.”

Instead young women need tech role models to be shown to them ‘every single day’.

Her comments come as BusinessCloud continues its hunt for 101 Female Entrepreneurs in Tech with the deadline for entries 28th September.

Narvas herself is part of the solution, having been an ambassador for Women in Tech organisation Code First: Girls while at university.

“I remember even in science they'd tell me about the best scientists in the world and they'd be all white men,” she said. “When I was younger I didn’t really think about it but it does make a huge impact on people who study STEM.”

Having started coding websites aged eight ‘just for fun’ Narvas rediscovered her love of tech after Code First: Girls emailed women on her degree course to come and learn about coding.

She then went on to become a CFG instructor at the university and then to help the organisation with its corporate programme, going into places like Vodafone to teach kids how to build a website.

“Code First: Girls really changed the direction of everything for me,” said Narvas who, after completing a placement at a HealthTech company this summer, has now got a graduate role at EE.

“I did a STEM degree but when I started focusing more on the more practical side of tech it definitely opened up so many doors for me, more than I ever realised.

“I’m lucky to get a job straight out of uni because I know a lot of other grads on my biomedical science course haven’t – even though it’s a great degree, if you don’t want to be an academic or a lab technician it’s quite difficult to get a job.

“Going beyond my degree, especially in tech, has opened so many opportunities for me.”
